It dares you to look away.","brand":"Natasha Brown","offers":[{"title":"Knopf Canada |  Hardback  |  2025-03-04","offer_id":46391188652287,"sku":"9781039057128","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_076b4cb8-15b8-418f-b5e0-6bb21059aa40.jpg?v=1733598170","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781039057128","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
